Raheem Sterling

Fewer players have been better than Raheem Sterling this year.

The Englishman is taking players on, making key passes, and most importantly scoring goals. He’s nearly undroppable from Manchester City’s squad, and they’re the pace-setters in the league at the moment.

Erik Lamela is also a good player in this position, but the form of Sterling beats him out.
